One can notice that the processor is not soldered to the motherboard, but via a socket. So, it will be potentially possible to change it in the future, if Apple does not prevent such modifications by some hardware or software trick.

I have the pictures available locally as the site that this is originally hosted on is a tad bit overworked.
Keep in mind that these pictures are from the front end of the unit, not from the back end (User Serviceable section), thus it looks kind of… ugly.

A video using the audio of Microsoft’s keynote speech at the 2006 CES, as well as portions of the Vista demo. However, this video substitutes Vista footage with footage of Mac OS X’s equivalent features. The result is pretty funny.

This is hilarious. It is Microsoft @ CES presenting Vista… however some replaced all the Vista screenies with OS X screenies with the same exact functionality… only difference is… OS X 10.4 is already out… Vista is “scheduled” to come out 4th Quarter 2006.

Michael Dell, Dell’s Chairman, announced at CES that future computers may use AMD processors in place of Intel’s processors that Dell is known for using.

They always say this, every year. I’m too lazy to look up sources but Dell has been saying this for years. My paranoid side even thinks Intel pays them to say this. It is a lot cheaper to pay one company to say they are going to use a product in the future and use it in court then to lose in court (AMD is suing Intel for illegal selling practices).

Spyware/Keyloggers arnt just a windows problem anymore. A few applications have silently made their way onto the Mac platform, spawning a company called MacScan to create the first Anti-Spyware/Keylogger app.

This story is hilarious. I mean that is all I can say about it. This guy is basically not offering any proof at all. I should create a program for OS X that scans and scans the hard drive and shows a pretty progress bar doing it and sell it for $24.95, because that is exactly what this guy is doing. He is claiming there are dozens of spyware titles out and about for OS X, well first off I have never heard of this guy so why should I believe him and second Apple to this day claims there is no spyware and viruses for OS X.
In other words this guy is an idiot and talking out of the side of his neck. I guess we all need to make a buck on this world, but I think now that this is public, he is asking for a public beating.
I hope there is an angry group of OS X users that will deface his website and put something like “Got Spyware?” a direct parody of the “Got Milk?” commercials during the late 90s.

Could apple be planning on extending their line of black products with a black iMac?

I told Cam this the moment the nano was released and it was outselling its white brother 10 to 1 (Apple had it all wrong on this one as they predicted the white would continue to outsell the black 10 to 1, probably comparing to the sales data of the U2 special edition.) that they will make a black iMac, black iBook and possibly a black shuffle. Heck now the iPod video comes in black as well so it is a definite possibility. My only gripe is that all the PC makers switched from beige to black / glossy black (on the higher end models). I know Apple is going intel next year but do the PCs have to look like Intel boxes too?

From their $499 PC, to the iPod Video. This covers everything important that happened this year in the world of Apple.

Definitely worth a read. Considering this is the year that I switched to Apple I remember this year very well. A year ago I was thinking about buying an Apple in the future (looking on eBay for used parts). Now I own an iMac, I am the “acting” Mac Sys Admin at my work (we will see after my first 90 days), my brother has a power book, my mom is getting a powermac g4 for xmas. I would have never thought this a year ago.

Microsoft will end support for Internet Explorer for Mac on December 31st, 2005, and additionally, as of January 31st, 2006, Internet Explorer for the Mac will no longer be available for download from Mactopia. It is recommended that Macintosh users migrate to more recent web browsing technologies such as Apple’s Safari.

One word, finally. Microsoft stopped developing IE for Mac back in 2003. I was wondering when they were going to remove the links and deny its existence. A little history for those that don’t know. Internet Explorer for Mac was actively being developed by Microsoft (they even had a 6.0 in the works) until Apple came out with Safari. Microsoft got pissed and stopped the IE project (thank god too!). Hopefully this will also stop the reliance that some companies still have on IE for Mac (for example the Comcast CD when you sign up requires you to have IE for Mac or it just will not install what so ever).
This is definitely a good celebration heading into 2006.
Apple appears on track to deliver an Intel-based iBook early next year, sources report, and in doing so will replace its long-standing 14.1-inch model with a widescreen 13.3-inch display. Meanwhile, the company releases a new build of Mac OS X 10.4.4 to developers while Plaxo readies the first release of its Mac client.

I dunno about a 13.3 inch iBook. I already don’t like the 14″ (probably because of the resolution). I hope that once the Intels are out that they can create a large gap once again between the iBooks and Powerbooks. Right now the only thing really different between the two is the fact that the Powerbook’s screen (at 15 & 17 inch) has a MUCH nicer resolution. I’d never get an iBook just because cruddy resolution alone.
